 But I'll let everyone know.

It's now been a few days of driving and I can honestly say the CDI
is not for me.  My '71 bus runs worse with the CDI.  The main problem
is throttle response....slower, less quick low-end pick-up.  And going
down hill I get a slight backfiring I never had before.  Soooo...
I'm taking it off and sending it back.
